Blender Tutorials

Computer Animation Students will learn 3-D open source animation program Blender by working through tutorials and in-class instruction (with Alex Honeywell) to foster a better understanding of the program's capabilities. In order to give students credit for their time and efforts put into learning the program, students will be given in-class participation/progress credits. If students are absent during that time, they can submit tutorials that help with the creation of their animation pieces.
Some helpful tutorials are listed on previous posts.

Each Session/1 hour tutorial/Blender challenges will be marked out of 5. There are 10 days/tutorials for a total of 50 marks. Students are to save their tutorial files to Computer Animation folder in the Student Share network. Label a folder with your name and save your Blender files there- Let me know when you have save your tutorials there.
